Thanks for suggesting, I'm planning to listen to Hymn for the immortal wind tomorrow as part of my (failed) album a day thing. It's kind of cool because I've listened to a lot of unusual bands that I wouldn't have before, like Midori. (Yukiko-san is the best track from Aratamemashite Hajimemashite Midori Desu but Sony seem to have pulled any youtube uploads).
I've also been listening to a bit of Godspeed in preparation for their return to the UK in April. I never particularly liked them much at first but taking the time to listen to their albums again, almost a year after I bought them, I definitely feel more inclined to like them. Not to the extent that some do (though I'd imagine that'll changed with further listens) but the group seem capable of creating this wonderful yet haunting sound that never really feels boring despite the sluggish pace with which much of their work unwinds.
